In this innovative study, Helen Tyson deftly shows how modernism and psychoanalysis respond to the crises of their times by reimagining the intimate psychic processes of reading. Attentive to the political turmoil of the era, Tyson's focus on ""scenes of reading"" offers fresh and unexpected insight into the historical conjunction of psychoanalysis and modernism.--Maud Ellmann, University of Chicago
